THE PENNSYLVANIA PACKET, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, October 7, 1780

Page 2 contains a "...letter found in a Major Rugely's house, 13 miles from Camden, South Carolina, the Major having departed on the approach of our troops in such haste as not to have time to secure his papers..." which provides some fascinating reading concerning the war in the South (see photos).
Page 2 also has a letter from Pittsburgh beginning: "Since my last the savages have killed & scalped ten men, about 60 miles up the Monongohela..." with more (see).
Page 3 is entirely taken up with ads, and the back page has the continued reporting of the testimony of Doctor Morgan (see photos for portions).
